• Discuss helping CCAFS with some batch tagging of ORCID IDs for their authors
• Discuss how the migration of CGIAR's Active Directory to a flat structure will break our LDAP groups in DSpace
• We had been using DC=ILRI to determine whether a user was ILRI or not
• It looks like we might be able to use OUs now, instead of DCs:

$ ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://svcgroot2.cgiarad.org:3269/ -b "dc=cgiarad,dc=org" -D "admigration1@cgiarad.org" -W "(sAMAccountName=admigration1)"

• User who has been migrated to the root vs user still in the hierarchical structure:

distinguishedName: CN=Last\, First (ILRI),OU=ILRI Kenya Employees,OU=ILRI Kenya,OU=ILRIHUB,DC=CGIARAD,DC=ORG
distinguishedName: CN=Last\, First (ILRI),OU=ILRI Ethiopia Employees,OU=ILRI Ethiopia,DC=ILRI,DC=CGIARAD,DC=ORG

• Notes for local PostgreSQL database recreation from production snapshot:

$ dropdb dspacetest
$ createdb -O dspacetest --encoding=UNICODE dspacetest
$ psql dspacetest -c 'alter user dspacetest createuser;'
$ pg_restore -O -U dspacetest -d dspacetest ~/Downloads/cgspace_2016-09-01.backup
$ psql dspacetest -c 'alter user dspacetest nocreateuser;'
$ psql -U dspacetest -f ~/src/git/DSpace/dspace/etc/postgres/update-sequences.sql dspacetest -h localhost
$ vacuumdb dspacetest
